Lindsay Lohan. The Time Has Come.

Go Back to Article

Lindsay Lohan is finally at a crossroads. Like Britney Spear's trip to a mental ward, LiLo seems to, for at least this week, seems at a crossroads. She's quit clubbing, hired Britney's comeback mastermind Larry Rudolph, and graces intellectuals' gossip rag Vanity Fair instead of US. While reading the article, I realized how stunning Lilo looks. Unlike Kristin Stewart or the other Twilight gals, Lindsay looks like a classic movie star. She's the last of a kind of star. Sure, she's now more known for her antics and has joined the ranks of the Kardashians, but Hollywood has yet to find a young starlet with her appeal who isn't a trash bag since The Parent Trap. What young actress now brings audiences to a theatre in non franchise films? None! In the article, she discusses how new media confused her. She forgot that she's more Gene Kelly than Tilah Tequila. People give her a hard time and say she's close to death, but she's only twenty-four. She's not nearly as bad as some sorority girls. Shiolah Buff is allowed to go to jail for drunk antics and no one cares? She stumbles and her career's over? That's fucking bullshit. The worse part is, it's not men who criticize her. It's young girls who do the same bullshit. LOOK IN THE MIRROR. People need to stop using LiLo as a pole to beat out their own issues. She's a person. Imagine having the world hate you? That sucks a lot. Have some sympathy for the girl, America! Don't support the behavior, but don't judge unless you're perfect. And you're not, perfect. At this point, her career's going to go two ways. She'll either have a Robert Downey Jr. style return or make one last film and tragically die right before a comeback. She's got too big of a presence to live as a has been. She's had her career falterings, but she's never lost her fame. It's her fate to be unforgotten. Now, if she's remembered for messiness or brilliance is a totally other blog post. But if things continue on this path, a new great Lindsay Lohan movie could be on the way. I will take bets on that now!
